6 NOV 2025 · In this episode of In Pursuit, Rich Froning sits down with Trent Ellis, Marine, outdoorsman, and rising social media voice, whose mix of grit, humor, and authenticity has built him a loyal following. Trent opens up about his journey from small-town Mississippi dreams of football, to deployments overseas, to finding peace and purpose back in the woods. He shares how hunting with his brother shaped his early years, why fitness and preparation matter in the backcountry, and how storytelling on social media (and now stand-up comedy) has given him a new platform to inspire others.
From lessons learned in the Marines to the joy of making memories with his own kids in the outdoors, Trent reminds us that living authentically isn’t about chasing the spotlight—it’s about keeping your priorities rooted in family, faith, and the wild.

2 OCT 2025 · In this Spike Camp episode, Rich and Byrd sit down to unpack their latest hunts in Idaho and Wyoming. From brutal early mornings and carb-loading on Pop-Tarts to chasing bulls through rugged country, the guys break down what went right, what went wrong, and what it taught them. They talk fitness carryover from the barn to the backcountry, how lack of sleep and nutrition can crush you in the field, and why patience might be the hardest weapon to master. Along the way there’s plenty of camp banter—acorns vs. “ay-corns,” beard debates, and stories of close calls that will stick with you long after the season ends. It’s a raw look at hunting, resilience, and brotherhood—because sometimes the biggest takeaway from the mountains isn’t an elk on the ground, but the lessons you bring back with you.
